THE PYTHON RECOILS; and LYSANTHIR DIES. ________________________________________________ ℑn the dim recesses of time, darkness consumed all, gradually corrupting what it touched. He had been ensnared by the swirling thoughts in his mind, trapped in the solitude of his choices and haunted by the ancestors who had come before him. Internally, he embodied evil incarnate, wandering a path that sought balance while living a life devoid of it. He had never known true peace, never experienced genuine tranquility, nor had he mastered his craft. Once, he had known the warmth of family, but they had perished, leaving a void that echoed in his heart. In his search for connection, he found another family, yet they too had slipped away into the shadows. He remembered his father, a figure in the forest, though he questioned whether that father was worthy of his time. With unanswered questions swirling around him, he felt a weight suggesting those inquiries were perhaps meant to remain unasked. A druid by craft, yet a necromancer by faith, he delved into the teachings of the Widukin, the God-borne Oak, seeking to indoctrinate fellow druids into his darkened beliefs. His singular motivation stemmed from the looming end of the druid’s existence — the death of the Aspects, those deities that once graced the skies. Among the shadows, Sonna had been his brightest light — his teacher and mentor during the twilight of his life. She kept him focused amidst the encroaching darkness of his mind, her words and craft a lifeline to that which she sought to protect. And Saeval, a stabilizing presence in recent years, was far less tense than he, carrying none of the anger that simmered within. Their son, Aerin, sparkled with joy, yet he felt the roots of darkness creeping within him, inherited from a father who had inherited it from his own. Taeral, his father, lingered in the recesses of his mind; his teachings — though vague and distant — were deeply embedded in his thoughts. Through them, he found understanding of his path, his past, and the bond he shared with his father. Yet what lay ahead was unfortunate. Death, inevitable, loomed ever closer, and yet life had seemed so tender, so nascent — merely weeks after he had finally mastered druid-craft, diligently taught by Sonna. Life was taken from him unexpectedly, by those very beings whom his dark doctrines had served, the ones he had once praised so highly. @Juno. And so, to the Watchers Grove arrived his severed head, marked with a symbol upon his forehead: a flaming spider with three legs pointing skyward and an eye upon its body — a testament to a life both lived and lost in shadows. ________________________________________________ And thus walked the Ophidian Druid into the depths of the Eternal Forest, where ancient trees whispered secrets and shadows danced beneath the dappled light. Each step was a silent pact with the earth, a communion with the spirits lingering in the air. The air was thick with the scent of moss and damp earth, a reminder of life’s cycle — both fierce and tender. As he ventured deeper, the canopy above intertwined like the fates of those who had come before him — those who had walked the paths of light and dark, of life and death. Here, in this sacred embrace of nature, he sought solace and understanding, a way to reconcile the tumult within his soul. The call of the forest beckoned him, a siren song of renewal and rebirth, urging him to remember his place within the grand tapestry of existence. With each breath, he felt the pulse of the land, the heartbeat of the wild resonating with his own. In this realm, where the mundane and the mystical intertwined, he hoped to find clarity — a way to weave his fractured identity into the greater whole. For he was not merely the Ophidian Druid; he was a vessel of history, a keeper of secrets, and a seeker of truth amidst the eternal shadows.

THE ADRIAN ORDER OF ST. EMMA; the KNIGHTS OF SARKOZ. ________________________________________________ ℜooted deep in the annals of Adrian history, the Adrian Order of St. Emma began as a militaristic force under the Sarkozic Dukes of Adria. Initially serving as the elite guard of Adria, it comprised both footmen and knights, unified under the command of the Grand Marshal. The Order stood as a symbol of strength and discipline, committed to the defense and prosperity of the Adrian realm. However, as the fortunes of the Adrian people waned over time, the Order gradually shifted from its original purpose. It evolved from a strictly militaristic force into more of a levy for House Sarkozic, embracing knightly ideals along the way. In this transformation, the Order of St. Emma was born — a chivalric brotherhood serving under the Count of Aldersberg, loyal to both the Sarkozic lineage and the Adrian identity. With the creation of Beznov, the home of the Adrians, the Order experienced a resurgence, reasserting its role in Adrian society. Under the leadership of the Exilic Duke, Markus Marie, and later his grandson, Mateusz Marcin, the Adrian Order of St. Emma regained its former prestige, standing as a proud testament to the enduring legacy of the Adrian people and their unbreakable spirit. ________________________________________________ THE CODE OF HONOUR The paramount virtues of loyalty and respect shall be the unyielding pillars of our conduct, ever directed towards the high Order and the noble House of Sarkoz. These virtues must not waver, for they are the very foundation upon which our brotherhood is built. Under the aegis of authority within the Order, obedience to the spoken word is a sacred covenant. Steadfast commitment to this tenet ensures the harmonious flow of command, binding us together in purpose and resolve. Each member is bound by a sentinel's duty, a solemn pledge to safeguard and preserve the honour of our brethren. This is a collective responsibility, a vow to elevate and protect one another in the face of all challenges. Amidst the trials that camaraderie may forge, never shy away from a contest proposed by an equal. Such encounters are the crucible in which our mettle is tempered, serving to fortify our spirit and uphold the honour of the Order. In the face of adversity, let it be known that cowardice, treachery, and betrayal shall find no place among us. To tolerate such transgressions is to dishonour the very fabric of our allegiance. The coward and the traitor are to be shunned, for their actions threaten the unity we hold sacred. Above all, let it be etched into the hearts of all who serve that desertion is the gravest of sins, a betrayal not only of one's brethren but of the very essence of our brotherhood. Such treachery shall not be met with mercy; for the deserter, there is but one fate — death. ________________________________________________ OATH OF ST. EMMA “I will believe all that the Church teaches, and I will observe all its direction. I will serve my liege lord – should it not be contrary to the laws of God. I will develop my life for the greater good. I will place character above riches, and concern for others above personal wealth. I will never boast, but cherish humility instead. I will speak the truth at all times, and forever keep my word. I will defend those who cannot defend themselves. I will honor and respect women, and refute sexism in all its guises. I will uphold justice by being fair to all. I will be faithful in love and loyal in friendship. I will abhor scandals and gossip – neither partake nor delight in them. I will be generous to the poor and to those who need help. I will forgive when asked, that my own mistakes will be forgiven. I will live my life with courtesy and honor from this day forward.” ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ HIERARCHY THE COUNT OF ALDERSBERG The Count of Aldersberg stands as the highest commander of the Order of St. Emma, wielding unrivaled authority over all matters of war and strategy. This exalted office represents the very zenith of power and honor within the Order, commanding the unwavering loyalty and discipline of its ranks. THE KNIGHT MARSHAL Below the Knight Marshal is the Knight, the chief officer of the Order, chosen with care for their exceptional skill, unshakeable loyalty, and proven leadership. The Knight Marshal serves as the right hand of the Count of Aldersberg, entrusted with executing his commands, leading the Order’s forces in battle, and maintaining discipline within the ranks. Their role reflects their trustworthiness and the high regard in which they are held. To hold the title of the Knight Marshal is to embody the Order’s might and to be the keeper of its sacred charge. THE KNIGHTS The Knights, meanwhile, form the stalwart core of the Order’s military strength. These versatile and battle-hardened soldiers are the mainstay of the Sarkozics in war and conflict, their discipline and numbers making the Order a fearsome force on the battlefield. The Knights are the very foundation upon which the Order’s might is built. THE SQUIRES The Squires, typically aged fourteen and up, are the newest recruits, yet untested in the fires of war. These eager warriors undergo rigorous training, with their every action scrutinized by their superiors. Yet within each of them lies the potential to rise through the ranks, should they prove themselves worthy through courage, skill, and steadfast loyalty to the Order’s cause. THE PAGES Lastly, the Pages, aged seven to fourteen, assist knights and nobles while learning manners, basic combat, and various skills like music and literacy, laying the groundwork for their future progression within the Order. ________________________________________________

SON OF EAGLE AND CROW; the INHERITANCE OF MATEUSZ SARKOZIC. ________________________________________________ ℑn the hallowed halls of Adrians, where the banners of the Eagle and Crow fluttered high, an auspicious ceremony unfolded — one destined to echo through the annals of Adrian history. Markus Marie Sarkoz, the Exilic Duke, sat upon his seat of power, his eyes, though weary with age, still burning with a resolute fire. Before him stood his grandson, Mateusz Marcin Sarkozic, a young man who bore the weight of his lineage upon his shoulders. Watching was Stefan Euler, the Turtle Knight, and Sarkozics assembled from near and far. Markus spoke, his voice a blend of command and fondness, "I have charged you, boy, with soaring free once more to remember the world of Old. Out there, grandson, is the perverse realm of Man — consumed by politics and devoid of any true mission or quest. Where once there were knightly orders with glorious quests, now there are knightly councils that cannot even raise a sword. But your quest will not end with this day, Mateusz Marcin Sarkoz — you are charged to continue it, to develop the piety of a king, so that you may carry on my mission, o' my heir; that you might bring great glory to the House of Sarkoz, to the Eagle and Crow!" With a steady hand, Markus drew the sword AVENTINE from its scabbard, a blade passed down from Victor Sarkozic, Count of Owynswood within the first Adria in Athera. The Duke brandished it aloft, its steel gleaming with the memories of countless battles and oaths. Lowering the blade, he declared, "Mateusz Marcin of Sarkoz, I name you knight and Count of Aldersberg! Step forward!" Mateusz Sarkozic stepped forward, his head bowed in reverence to his grandsire, his hands folded behind his back in solemn respect. "You honor me, grandsire, and I shall accept your charge," he intoned, his voice steady, yet filled with the weight of the moment. Markus pointed the tip of the ancestral blade downward, tapping it lightly upon the shoulders and head of his grandson. "Sir Mateusz of Sarkoz — receive your sword," he proclaimed, turning the blade in his hand so that the hilt was offered to Mateusz. Mateusz reached out, his fingers curling around the hilt of the storied blade. As he grasped the weapon, his eyes traced the intricate designs etched into the steel, each mark telling a tale of valor and sacrifice. The sword left the grip of the elder Duke, and in that moment, Markus's age became starkly evident. He fell back into his seat, a haggard breath escaping his lips. With a voice weakened by time, he commanded, "Brandish it with audacity and auspice, Mateusz! Know your role in history, and play the part." Mateusz lowered the sword towards the ground, its tip resting against the cold stone floor. He sank to one knee before the seat of his grandsire, his voice ringing out with the pride of his lineage. "My lord, I am Son of Eagle and Crow, Descendant of Sigismund, Saint Adrian, and the historic High Duke Markus," he vowed, a smile breaking through his solemn expression. "And I vow, on this day, before God alone, that I shall continue the Elder line of Sarkoz, and its High Seat of Aldersberg, which was established by the first Son of Sarkoz, Saint Adrian. I shall stop at no turn to ensure that the legacy you have kept pure, that which our ancestors forged, endures for centuries to come." And so, in that moment, the torch was passed from the elder to the younger, the legacy of the House of Sarkoz carried forward by the hand of its newest Count of Aldersberg. ________________________________________________ HAIL! THE COUNT OF ALDERSBERG, MATEUSZ MARCIN SARKOZIC.

Can you clarify exactly what changed with google docs? I’ve been pasting from google docs for years, so I’m curious what the change entails.

THE HOUSE OF SUZEC; the GREAT RAEVIFICATION. ________________________________________________ ℑn the year 1930, the House of Suzecht came into being through the union of Hans Alstion and Suzanna Sarkozic. Named to honor the rich cultural heritage of both, it stood as a beacon illuminating their unified ideals. Since its inception, the House has navigated a path marked by both triumphs and tribulations, deeply rooted in the harrowing events of the Covenant massacre. Following the passing of Matthaus and the ascension of Vacslav, a transformative cultural shift has swept through the House, ushered by their mother’s Raev lineage. This evolution is evidenced by their recent return to the Adrian lands and their renewed allegiance to the Exilic Duke of the Adrians, Markus Sarkozic. Under Vacslav’s steadfast leadership and his unwavering commitment to reconnecting his kin with their Raev heritage, the House has undergone a series of profound cultural reforms in recent years. This transformative journey culminated in an event of monumental significance, aptly dubbed by Vacslav as THE GREAT RAEVIFICATION. ________________________________________________ DICTUM ON SUZECZKI NOMENCLATURE. By the hand of the Lord Suzecz in the year of our Lord 1986. I. THE HOUSE OF SUZECHT shall be known by its Raevified name: THE HOUSE OF SUZEC. II. LEGITIMATE MEMBERS of the HOUSE OF SUZEC shall utilize the surname SUZECZ. III. LEGITIMATE MEMBERS of the HOUSE OF SUZEC may not have any name other than those of Raev etymology. Allowance of names is left to the discretion of the LORD SUZECZ. III. ILLEGITIMATE MEMBERS of the HOUSE OF SUZEC shall utilize the bastard surname SUZENOV. IV. BASTARDS under the care of – but not related to – the HOUSE OF SUZEC shall utilize the bastard surname SUZENOV. V. PEOPLE OR THINGS of – or related to – the HOUSE OF SUZEC shall collectively be known as SUZECZKI.

I would answer more constructively, and I might do later because I have thoughts on this subject, but I’m on vacation right now. All I wanted to add was that @Mickaelhz is the good guy. That’s it for now.

The vargyr returns…

GODWIN GAIL, a simple farmer’s boy, glanced at the notice with interest. He had recently found himself nestled in the City of Louisanne; though now wondered if time had come to move closer to the Aaunic capital.

IN SILVER RECOGNITION; re: the Golden Constitution of Haelun’or. By the hand of the Sohaer in the year 185 S.A. To elLaurir, Usamea An’asul ( @Gemini ), I will begin with your conclusion, for once the confusion, which your mind clearly holds, has been cleared, we may, in equal knowledge, argue the laws themselves. i. On Constitutionality You deduce that“the current constitution issued by elHeial'thilln is unconstitutional.“ You discuss a constitution which does not exist; this is your error most clear. You argue laws, and laws exclusively, for a state should have laws which serves as a vade mecum of legal rights. I, alongside elHeial’thilln, have created a set of laws, dubbed, in accordance with history, ‘The Silver Law’, though they are no more beyond that. They have never been deemed, nor intended, to be a constitution; where this idea comes from escapes me. If it is your desire to discuss an actual constitution, we must look unto history to find its existence. Last time any constitution was mentioned in decree, related to the state, was in the missive created by Eledar Haler’thilln, named ‘To the Promised Uradiran Era’, though I have been unable to locate any actual constitution released by the Sohaer Uradir. If you would then argue that any constitution signed under the Uradiran Era, and then upheld throughout the Sythaerin Era, which could be seen as an unconstitutional rule in its own right, would be invalid, I’d be inclined to agree with your stance. You will find the last recorded constitution of the state, named ‘The Blessed Silver Constitution’ and signed on the 9th of the Amber Cold in the year 132 S.A., which is a constitution that seems to have been removed from visual archives, for which reasons I am uncertain, though its intention aligns with the laws signed by elHeial’thilln, quod vide. As far as can recall, and witness through historical records, this constitution was signed beneath the Sohaeral rule of Luthien Maeyr’onn, who’s reign I am currently uneducated on. If you would then argue that this constitution is unconstitutional, due to the rule of Sohaer Maeyr’onn, which came after the Iberallan Rebellion, I’d have no counterargument, and therefore, I continued to examine earlier works. We would then fall to the next historical constitution, named ‘The Reformed Silver Constitution of Haelun’or’ and signed on the 10th of the Grand Harvest in the year 70 S.A, which has coequally been dismissed from visual archive, though I’d assume due to the creation of the above mentioned, though as above, this constitution – and seemingly the last valid constitution – echo the words of our own law; the one which you have called to question. As above, the rule of the Sohaer under which the Reformed Constitution was signed, could be called into question due to its closeness to the events of Iberallan Rebellion, and therefore, we continue to delve further back into history. Any works before the above mentioned constitution would be ‘The Iberallan Constitution’ signed on the 9th of the Snow’s Maiden in the year 90 S.A., which then turned into the Iberallan Rebellion, and I believe needs no reason for its active and continuous dismissal by the state as a whole. We’d then encounter ‘The Elervathar Constitution’ signed on the 22nd of the Grand Harvest in the year 67 S.A., which was, contradictory to the above mentioned constitution, actively dismissed by the elHeial’thilln, amongst them yourself, in the missive named ‘To Denounce a Constitution’, which then afterwards elected to install the Okarir’mali Ayliana Valwynn as Sohaer of the Silver State, leading to the Iberallan Rebellion. It could be argued, with reason found in the historical events of the Iberallen Rebellion, that the denouncement of the Elervathar Constitution is unsound, though I recognize the influence which the council had, and its sentiment at large, which is why, despite the historical events around the dismissal of the constitution, I’d be inclined to dismiss it as well. Then, after much research, we land on ‘The Silver Constitution of Haelun’or’ as signed on the 11th of Malin’s Welcome in the year 58 S.A., and shockingly its scripture is the exact same as the Blessed Silver Constitution, quod vide, which, as mentioned, echoes the sentiment of our recently signed laws. I would argue, due to the way in which the constitution is written, it allows for the state to develop its laws in more specific terms than done in the constitution. Should a law be in contradiction to the constitution itself, then they should be dismissed, though I fail to see in which areas our laws disobey the last instituted constitution of the state. If you have closer examination on the reasons in which the laws are against the last upheld constitution, then I’d be delighted to look into the idea of amendments to those laws, though without much more evidence, such seems unfeasible to do. I am not, nor have ever been, against the idea of the creation of a newer, more accurate, constitution, though as mentioned earlier, such should be carefully worked through, and then voted on by the people, rather than simply me and my council. We will work, at your behest, on a new constitution, which’ll be released for the people to vote on, when deemed finished. ii. On Book I ‘Of the Indisputable Laws’, Chap. 1 ‘Of the Obvious Laws’, Article 9 on illicit substances. You are correct in that alcohol will affect the mind, therein the thoughts of the mind, and thereby, if taken alone by the wording of article 9, though one must, as is the legal method, factor into the interpretation of the law, the intention behind them. It is clear, if you ask me, that the intention of article 9 is to ensure that the Blessed Citizen are unable to devolve in substances which infer a direct hindrance on the mind of the individual, therein that the Blessed Citizens should be unable to harm the mind beyond that which is socially accepted. Whereas, as you clearly display, it could be argued that alcohol takes a hold on the mind, the effects of alcohol is much lesser than that of other substances known across the realm, and the clear intention of the law is to ensure these harsher substances remain away from the hands of the Blessed Citizens. Should there, by collective argument of the people, be a desire to ban alcohol as a whole, as to ensure the minor effects of alcohol on the mind is kept from the Blessed Citizen, then this could be amended, though it is clear to me that this is not the intention of the law. Furthermore, should it be argued that the wording of the article is unsuitable, the use of illicit remains vital. Illicit is yet to be defined, as we believe the system of justice alone should define that, and therefore alcohol, which is presently deemed licit, would not be included underneath the article alone by the use of the word illicit. iii. On Book III ‘Of Citizenship and Residency’, Chap. 1 ‘Of the Organisation and Obtainment of Citizenship’, Article 5 on the oath of allegiance. You mention that this law “mandates that all citizens, both old and new, must recite the State of Allegiance, pledging their loyalty to the Sohaer.” Though nowhere in the law does it mention the need for old citizens to recite the oath. It is mentioned throughout Chap. 1, that on obtaining citizenship, the citizen must recite the oath. You already have it. Despite such, we largely agree with your argument, and will amend the law, so that it reflects the modern standards of Haelun’or more accurately. This’ll include amendment of the oath. iv. On Book IV ‘Of Trials and Punishment’, Chap. 1 ‘Of the Silver Tribunal’, Article 3 on the summoning of elHeial’thilln and elMalauriran & Article 4 on the election of Pariran. On Article 3 on the summoning of elHeial’thilln and elMalauriran. You deduce the summons of elMalauriran is criminal, though you seem to have misunderstood the reasons for the law’s existence, and I’d like to clarify. You are within a chapter on summons to trial. These articles relate to that, and that alone. Whereas elMalauriran is culturally above anyone else but elMaheral, they are still citizens of the Silver State, and as such remains liable to trial within the Silver State. Article 3 is created as a safety measure, so that no Malaurir, due to the status which you argue they have, is summoned by anyone beneath the level of Sohaer in a criminal trial, to which the chapter of your concern relates. It does not, as I believe you have somehow deduced, relate to the duties of elMalauriran, nor the ability for elMalaurir to meet, or dismiss elMaheral. It is singularly in relation to criminal justice – when they have broken the law. On Article 4 on the summoning of elHeial’thilln and elMalauriran. Once more, you argue on the basis of cultural influence, yet you discuss a chapter of political relevance. Book IV is about trials and punishment. Criminal causes and criminal breaches. elOkariran was placed above elMalauriran in the order of selection, as the duty of elOkariran related more closely to the needs of the Pariran in criminal issues. elMalauriran remains higher than the standard citizen due to the influence on the culture, though this does not relate to the culture nor the influence elMalauriran has on the subject of culture. Presently, it is discussed within elHeial’thilln, if another court should be established, headed by elMaheral and elMalauriran, to judge on social issues, which is what the duties of elMalaurir entails. If you declare that elMalauriran is more equipped to judge people on issues of criminal relevance than elOkariran, then I must disagree. Lastly, elHeial’laurir does not exist, and was abolished before my rule. This is equally in discussion of reestablishment, though due to the lack of actual bloodlines present in Haelun’or, has been delayed as of right now. v. On Book V ‘Of Authority and Succession’, Chap. 1 ‘Of the Instrument and Authority of Government’, Article 1 on the Sohaer. Here you fail to understand common sense. State is defined as a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. I, the Sohaer, is the highest authority of the Silver State of Haelun’or; a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. I am unable to rule on the role of the Maheral, and therefore the Maheral is simply defined in the laws, as the Maheral dictates its own role. I would be, in your words, unconstitutional, if I dictated the authority of the Maheral, and therefore I have not. On the subject of Sohaeral removal, you fail to read. Refer to chapter 2, article 4 of the same book. Whereas the removal of the Sohaer is less simple than it has been before, these measures ensure a fluid and consistent leadership of the Silver State, without removing any provisions which might aid in the removal of the Sohaer.
